On May 8th the federal government was on hand to mark the capping of the tallest wood constructed condominium in North America, project Origine, a project in Quebec City’s Pointe-aux-Lièvres eco-district.
The building includes a 12-storey wood structure on top of a one-storey concrete podium. The 41-metre tall condo uses cross-laminated timber (CLT) as its primary building material.
